- Like Hilo thermostats, these devices are compatible with the Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice assistants. Which is handy especially when you have your hands full!
Smart plug-in switch: For maximum comfort and savings
The smart plug-in switch gives you control over any devices that are plugged into them. For example, you can turn lights on and off with just one click in the Hilo app. Wondering whether you turned off your straightening iron before you left the house? Classic... but with a smart plug-in switch, there’s no need to stress out over a possible fire hazard. By plugging your iron into a smart switch, you can turn it off even when you’re not at home. Program your coffee machine to turn on just before you wake up so you can lie in bed just a few more minutes while it prepares your coffee, or even program your air conditioner to turn off at night to avoid wasting energy.

In-wall smart dimmer: A thousand-and-one moods
An in-wall smart dimmer lets you customize your living space by creating a range of relaxing, energizing or romantic ambiences. Program specific lighting designs based on the time of day so that the intensity of your lighting changes automatically, or set it manually depending on your mood! In the bedroom, choose maximum lighting when you’re tidying up, for example, and lower the lighting when it’s time to hit the sack. In the bathroom, soften the lighting while you’re taking a relaxing hot bath after a long workday. In the dining room, start the day off with bright lights for breakfast, then create a warmer ambience by opting for softer lighting at dinnertime.
